They could outrun teams like the Showtime Lakers and outgun them like Michael Jordan’s Bulls — and the Golden State Warriors had a more dominant postseason than either.
Their run was better than anything Bill Russell or Larry Bird did in Boston, so they should be able to claim a spot on the list of the NBA’s best teams ever.
Golden State finished the playoffs 16-1 when they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-120 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. They ended with the highest winning percentage ever in the NBA postseason and won 15 consecutive games, the longest streak in the major North American sports.
